3	And I have not learned wisdom or known the knowledge of holy ones.	I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.	I have not learned wisdom, nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One.

What is His name, and what is the name of His Son? Surely you must know!	Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name? Surely you know!	Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Whose hands have gathered up the wind?
